I had recently lost one of my old cats to cancer and definitely was in the market for a new kitty. I went home to visit family for a week for Christmas. Right when I got there, I received a text message from a coworker (I worked at an animal hospital at the time) with a picture of a tiny brown tabby kitten (my favorite) with the message “Santa brought you something for when you return.”
A city worker had found a litter of four kittens huddled together in the snowy 20 degree weather. Only one of them was still alive.
Chas was rushed to the animal hospital. His temperature wasn’t even registering and he weighed less than a pound. But after some nourishment, love and time in the incubator, he eventually came around and grew into on of the craziest felines I’ve ever encountered. He wants to know everything and be involved in everything.
One of my favorite early stories of bringing this kitten home was when he launched his little 3 pound body over my shoulder and did a belly flop onto a piece of peanut butter toast.
Today is his 4th birthday. He’s still just as inquisitive and mischievous. And I call him “Baby Fish Mouth” after Bruno Kirby’s Pictionary answer in When Harry Met Sally.
